This is expected behavior. Safari uses Core Graphics to render text on both the
Mac OS and Windows platforms, and changing that is outside the scope of the
WebKit open source project.

The Windows port of WebKit used in Adobe's AIR uses Cairo to render text, and I
believe that uses ClearType, which is the same look as in IE7 and Firefox (see
<http://opensource.adobe.com/adobe_apollo.html>). Hopefully Adobe and/or others
will contribute a Cairo layer to the Windows port maintained at webkit.org.
